A lost love could make their way into your life, causing a great deal of excitement. At first, it will feel like the best of times. The longer you spend time together the more you'll realise this tiger hasn't changed its stripes. Have fun while the magic lasts, but be prepared to move on to greener pastures. You need a partner who is less set in their ways. If you're in a relationship, maybe you should revisit an old romantic haunt.

A leadership effort will involve lots of trial and error. Some people will respond to threats, while others do better with gentle encouragement. It's up to you to discover which is which.

It feels as though you're waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hopefully, you're very patient, since you're in a holding pattern of sorts. Try not to jump to conclusions about a mysterious new comer.

Somewhere along the line, people have got the wrong idea about you. Perhaps they are intimidated by your imposing personality. Maybe they have missed all of your witty jokes. It's even possible they've bought into a false rumour about you. Take this opportunity to set the record straight. Remember, you will be judged by your actions, not by your words. Making empty promises will only get you into more trouble. Maybe the best strategy is to give rewards as a total surprise.

Turn your attention to the mundane matters of life. You've always lived by a lofty philosophy, but it may prevent you from getting small jobs done.

If something does happen to fall through the cracks, issue an immediate and sincere apology.

It's important to maintain contacts with old friends. Yes, you don't have much in common anymore, but these people still provide a valuable link with the past.

If you're fighting with your lover, make a pact not to bring up old wounds. Dwelling on these matters will prevent you from forging a happy future together.
